At this moment, Zhu Tingyue's breathing was steady and even, and her long eyelashes drooped slightly like butterfly wings.

Even in her sleep, her beautiful brows were still slightly furrowed, as if some trouble was lingering in her heart, which made people feel pity for her.

Chen Yanqiu looked at the lovable woman in front of him, his heart filled with tenderness and sweetness.

He stretched out his hand and gently smoothed out Zhu Tingyue's slightly wrinkled brows bit by bit.

Looking at Zhu Tingyue who was so quiet, well-behaved and yet made people feel deeply distressed, Chen Yanqiu secretly told himself in his heart: Zhu Tingyue should have been a flamboyant, bright and energetic girl; she should have lived proudly, wantonly and carefree.

But now she is so sad and upset, there is no doubt that it must be her fault!

Chen Yanqiu gently and carefully placed Zhu Tingyue on the bed, as if he was holding the most precious and fragile treasure in the world.

He straightened up slowly and then sat quietly on the edge of the bed.

His eyes fell on the sleeping person's face as gently as water, and did not move away for a long time.

He just stared at her peaceful sleeping face, his mind full of thoughts.

That familiar face looked so peaceful and serene at this moment, and the slightly trembling eyelashes were as light as butterfly wings, occasionally fluttering gently.

Chen Yanqiu couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to touch the skin as delicate as white jade, but he finally stopped just before touching it, fearing that he would accidentally disturb her sweet dream.

Jiang Wanyun and Chen Can outside the door stared at each other, looking at each other, neither of them willing to give in.

"Why are you still here?"

Jiang Wanjun really couldn't understand what the relationship was between Chen Can and the two people in the room, and why he refused to leave?

Chen Can really didn't understand. The two people at the door, one surnamed Jiang and the other surnamed Chen, were from the Shen family! Why did the one surnamed Jiang chase her away?

"I'm not leaving, why don't you leave?"

Chen Can stood there long enough that her heels began to hurt slightly, but Jiang Wanjun was still there, so she gritted her teeth and refused to leave.

Jiang Wanjun felt that Chen Can was not very smart. Couldn’t he see that he had important things to deal with?

She deliberately cleared her throat and said to Chen Can, "It's lively downstairs, let's go check it out! It's useless to stand here, we can't hear what's being said inside."

Chen Can didn’t want to listen to what the people inside said at all, she just didn’t want to leave like that!

After hearing this, Jiang Wanjun thought about it carefully. She thought she had figured it out. Before she could smile, she heard Chen Can say, "I don't like crowds. This is good. It's quiet!"

Jiang Wanjun put away his smile, and then showed a fake smile: "That's fine, but I wonder if Master Shen will get impatient waiting for you?"

Chen Can couldn't bear to hear the three words "Chen Yanzhen", not even Young Master Shen!

She immediately yelled at Jiang Wanjun, "Who cares if he's waiting anxiously? I don't like him! If you like him, go after him!"

Her voice was loud and her dissatisfaction was obvious.

Jiang Wanjun was surprised. Wasn't everyone in the outside world talking about her and Shen Yanzhen? How could it become a thing of the past so quickly? Without Zhu Tingyue, she was too behind on the news!

Jiang Wanjun was just about to say that she didn't like him! She caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing at the stairs, and she thought of a plan, so she acted awkwardly: "Alas, I like Chen Yanzhen very much. After all, he is so outstanding, young and promising, and he is also handsome, elegant, and gentle!"

Chen Can pouted, with a look of disappointment on his face: "Are your eyesight okay? Is Chen Yanzhen a good-looking man? Elegant? Gentle and refined? Do you want to look up the meaning of these words in the dictionary? Which one matches him?"

The corners of clothes at the stairs were still fluttering, neither going up nor down.

Jiang Wanjun's smile widened, and her tone was affected in a way that Zhu Tingyue could immediately tell was true, but Chen Can didn't notice it.

Jiang Wanjun said half-truthfully: "Oh, I just think he's a nice guy. If you don't like him, then I'll go and give it a try?"

Chen Can gave her an ambiguous look and said nonchalantly, "I don't like him! Go after him if you want!"

Then, he kindly reminded Jiang Wanjun: "But you have to be patient. He is a person with a heart as hard as stone and as solid as a rock. Ordinary people can't warm him up!"

Jiang Wanjun smiled meaningfully: "You know him so well?"

Chen Can glared at her and denied, "I...how can I know him? I just asked him about it indirectly because I like Chen Yanqiu! You don't know anything, so don't make blind guesses!"

Jiang Wanjun looked at her with amusement, and nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her words: "Yeah, I think Chen Yanqiu is pretty good-looking, you have a good eye! Who do you think is better between the two of them?"

Her eyes showed ill intentions, but Chen Can was distracted by her question and didn't pay much attention to it. He answered casually, "Of course it's Chen Yanqiu! Is there any need to say that?"

She rolled her eyes at Jiang Wanjun and thought: This person looks smart, but he is actually very stupid! Not as good as me!

"Oh! I understand!" Jiang Wanjun patted her shoulder, left her with his back, and walked away.

Chen Can felt that she was inexplicable. She asked him a lot of questions, but she just left like that? What did she mean?

She scratched her head in confusion, then turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed the figure standing at the stairs—Chen Yanzhen.

He just stared at her straight, as if he could see through her.

That look was unusually calm, not at all filled with anger like before, and there wasn't even a hint of blame towards her.

However, it was this calmness that made Chen Can's heart suddenly panic.

In fact, Chen Can was not panicked because of seeing Shen Yanzhen. The real reason that made her panic was that she had just talked about him behind his back!

When Chen Can thought of this, a blush instantly appeared on his face, and he felt even more regretful.

Trouble comes from the mouth. Next time I must control my mouth!

"sorry!"

I was at fault first, so I should apologize. Chen Can sincerely apologized to Shen Yanzhen.

But she lowered her head and waited for a long time, but did not receive any answer from Chen Yanzhen.

Accept it or not, just give me a word!

She kept complaining in her heart, and when she looked up, there was no trace of Shen Yanzhen in front of her? This guy had already run away!

When Chen Can apologized, he was sincere and really sorry for talking about others behind their backs.

And this person just left without saying a word? Now all her apologies turned into anger, which surged up in her mind.

Is he some kind of monster? Is he chasing after him and trying to eat him? Is that really necessary?

Chen Yanzhen, just wait and see! We have settled this feud!
